Summary
Artists and creators often fail to secure original, legally sound contracts when working with clients or publishers, leaving them vulnerable to losing ownership of their IP. The case of Archie Comics losing rights to over 200 characters due to inability to produce original contracts highlights the severe consequences. This problem is unsolved as many independent artists lack access to affordable legal expertise and standardized contract templates tailored to creative industries, leading to costly disputes and loss of livelihood.
